The Excellence in Teaching Awards recognize the outstanding achievement and dedication of seven 红杏直播appteachers with a $10,000 prize. 红杏直播appeducators, students, parents and community members nominate teachers for this award. A panel which includes parents, principals, teacher leaders, instructional superintendents and other program staff select the final list of winners. All Highly Effective educators are eligible for nomination. The awards are made possible due to the generosity of David Rubenstein, co-founder and managing director of the Carlyle Group and chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Excellence in Teaching Award winners are recognized at the annual Standing Ovation for DC 红杏直播app Schools, hosted by DC 红杏直播app Education Fund and held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
